Manor House Nursery

outdoor time (the nursery has an amazing garden) and fresh food. I would definitely recommend Manor House Nursery to whoever is looking to start this journey for their child.

issues with getting my child into the nursery and ensuring that there was a place for him, but they were resolved in a professional and friendly way, despite all the stress management were under at the time.
The carers are fantastic. They love and look after the children so well. My son loves going to nursery, he doesn’t want to leave. He adores his carers and I’m happy knowing he has a fantastic time every day. The staff call to ask if they may do things like take the kids to the park or to notify us if they have a temperature etc. so we are not caught unaware.

during her day. A couple of weeks ago, she came home singing all the words to two new songs she'd learned just that day, which I thought was amazing!
Things were quite challenging a few months ago with staffing issues meaning that our daughter sometimes wasn't able to attend, but things have really turned around in the last few months and that hasn't been the case for a long time now. Similarly, there has been a real improvement in communication and visibility levels, especially with the introduction of the app.
Our second daughter will be turning one year old later this year, and we are very much looking forward to introducing her to the Manor House family as well.

with her key worker. In the second half of 2022, we've really appreciated more updates about what she gets up to via the Famly app, and many more opportunities to join in family activities that Manor House have arranged.
The communication between the nursery and parents has improved massively and we can see how warm, creative and dedicated the staff are. They very sensitively dealt with a difficult patch in our daughter's behaviour a few months ago. We feel this is a great place to prepare her for school in her last few months of attending.

place has just been cancelled with just a week and half’s notice! It’s unacceptable and irresponsible of the nursery as I believe they were probably already short staffed when they accepted him just a few months ago. On top of this, I have no real idea of how my boy is really doing at nursery, or what he does with his days. Some of my star ratings I have put as poor, but I don’t actually know because I’ve only been allowed inside the nursery twice, briefly, and never had a review of his care. I know that all nurseries are struggling and staff shortages is a national problem, but unfortunately, Manor House nursery just isn’t coping with these problems. Avoid!

has well and truly settled in and is thoroughly enjoying her time at nursery. The staff take such great care of her and maintain open communication about her development.

have.
The environment and provisions they offer are of a high standard and are regularly changed. Manor House follow the curiosity approach which we love. My daughter has developed so much since starting at Manor House and she loves it there.

the children to explore the world and empower them to investigate the things that interest them. For example, during lockdown, our daughter wrote a letter to her grandparents while at nursery and asked if she could post it. After calling us to check it was OK, she went with the managers to the local shop to buy stamps and post the letter. She was so excited to tell us all about it and it was lovely to see how the staff supported her. Both children are always really happy when we collect them and even ask to go to nursery on days they don't attend! If that isn't a good recommendation, then I don't know what is! We are very pleased with our choice of nursery and would highly recommend it.

everything extremely quickly and professionally, always being able to go the extra mile to help. Moving my daughter from another local nursery to Manor House was the best move we could have ever made for her.

in the family) but were never accommodated for even one, even though we offered to pay whatever needed. No flexibility whatsoever nor understanding, so claiming to be "family-oriented" couldn't be much further from the truth. Our daughter is very happy there, so sad they don't want to go out of their comfort zone even slightest to help out when needed.

a varied and creative atmosphere. We could not have asked for a better-suited nursery for our daughter.

taking on board and considering exactly what my son needs and what stage he is at. He loves his days at nursery and I couldn't be happier seeing him at Manor House.

regarding my sons dairy intolerance. He still has a varied healthy diet which is excellent. All the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and really know each child well. The day to day running is smooth and slick and must be very well organised.
Five stars all round!

Nursery and would not hesitate to recommend this setting to any other family. (And our son raves about the food and he's hard to please).

extensive refurbishment and this has been managed very well with minimal disruption.
Overall we're very happy with our choice to come to Manor House.
